The best time to shave your legs is actually at night

By Buzz60

There may be a reason as to why shaving your legs never really turned into a job well done. As it turns out, you should have been shaving them at night. As if your bedtime routine wasn't annoying enough already!

According to Good Housekeeping, night is the best time of day to tackle the tedious task of shaving legs.

Best results are acquired at night since when we sleep, our legs become warm and swell slightly, which means that the little hairs we may have missed shaving in the evening retreat back into their follicles and are less obvious in the morning when we wake up.

Meanwhile, if you shave in the morning, legs feel smoother than they really are, making us believe we have achieved the perfect shave -- and if you step outside, the cold will tighten your skin and the hair will feel more prickly.

So night seems to be the way to go, but just remember to avoid shaving after a long bath, because wrinkled skin will make a hard task even harder.
